If you look at the starting line of a cyclocross or cross country race , you will most likely notice the Shimano XC902 cycling shoes on riders' feet and there are good reasons for that. When we pick up a pair of these sneakers or better yet, on our feet, we experience that world class landing light weight and efficiency that professionals count on to earn a salary. Shimano designs the XC902 with a one-piece reinforced synthetic upper with multiple perforations allowing your feet to breathe. Fit adjustment is carried out using two Boa Li2 adjusters providing independent and micro-adjustable tension on the top of the foot.

In the rear of the shoe, Shimano uses an external cup covering the carbon outsole and rear heel. This design supports the heel , preventing curling and rolling stabilizing it for greater efficiency. - Grippy fabric inside the shoe further reinforces the fulcrum providing a solid foundation for delivering high power at the start of the race and when pedaling upwards while maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
